I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?

Not looking for a debate here, discuss cold drinks vs hot drinks instead. Appreciate either answer. ❤️

    are you starting to reconsider that last sentence?

    No, not really. Even though there’s been an uptick in gun violence, it’s not the sort of indiscriminate violence that would keep me (as a parent) awake at night. Many of the gun crimes we see are targeted or specific - gang and organised crime, murder suicides, familicides, etc.

    Even though those are very troubling, they’re still largely distant from the average Aussie. Unlike, say, in America where there’s now a market for school backpacks with Kevlar inserts.
